 * Hi,
    I wanted to create a custom navigation menu on my website with Elementor
   and somehow, when I add the ‘Custom Nav Menu’ it doesn’t appear. It says 254.
   Even if I use a regular menu, not customize with WordPress, it says 254 instead
   of my menu. However, I’m also building an English version of the same website(
   www.sonialisolivagant.com) and I did the same thing and it works. I tried different
   things, but I cannot fix this issue. Can someone help me please ?
 * Childish theme: OceanWP.
    Website: [http://www.fr.sonialisolivagant.com](http://www.fr.sonialisolivagant.com)
 * Thanks.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcustom-navigation-menu-doesnt-appear%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi, kindly activate the OceanWP parent theme and check this error still exists
   or not, then revert to the child theme.
 * Update this thread with your result. Also, please update PHP version of your 
   server if it is below PHP 7. OceanWP required PHP 7 to work well.

 * Hi [@apprimit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apprimit/),
 * Thanks for your answer. I might sound super stupid, but what is OceanWP parent
   theme ?

 * Child theme works only with its parent theme.
 * OceanWP Parent Theme – [View](https://wordpress.org/themes/oceanwp/)
 * OceanWP Child Theme – [View](https://github.com/oceanwp/oceanwp-child-theme)
 * Upload both themes in your theme directory and activate the child theme by navigating
   admin dashboard > appearance > themes

 * Oh ok… then, I might not have understood. My theme is OceanWP – [View](https://wordpress.org/themes/oceanwp/)
 * I don’t use OceanWP Child Theme then.
 * So should I do the same process ?
